Dude, are you serious? There's no such thing as "overkill" in the computer world. Gimme a 100 core processor and let me slap 4 of em on one mobo and guess what? I'll have a 396 of those cores folding 100% and the other 4 will be alllll for me

I think Intel will have better luck than AMD putting out a quad core chip that actually is worth a crap for clockin'. The DC Intels aren't bad for clocking at all, now the AMD DC's are a whole other ball game.
